    What a win for Darvel!

    The sixth-tier side have taken a Premiership scalp - and they thoroughly deserve it.

    Just let that sink in.

    James McFadden makes Craig Truesdale his man-of-the-match. There were a lot of candidates in blue.

    I don't think many actually believed the shock could happen. There's still time for Aberdeen, but I think, overall, the performance has been really poor. The pressure will ramp up on Jim Goodwin, that's for sure.

    We're into four minutes of stoppage time.

    Can Darvel hold on?

  8. YELLOW CARDpublished at 90 mins

    Darvel 1-0 Aberdeen

    Bojan Miovski goes nuts at the referee, claiming a corner when a goal-kick is given. That's only ever going one way...

  9. YELLOW CARDpublished at 89 mins

    Darvel 1-0 Aberdeen

    Andy Stirling is booked for chopping down Vicente Besuijen, who is deep in his own half trying to get something started for Aberdeen.

    Darvel 1-0 Aberdeen

    A glancing header from Duk is comfortably held by Chris Truesdale, who wastes a few seconds by flopping to the floor with the ball.

    What was I saying? Suddenly Darvel are up the other end stretching the Aberdeen defence. They win a free kick out wide and Joe Lewis comes through traffic to collect before giving possession away with a poor kick.

    Darvel 1-0 Aberdeen

    Darvel are just knocking the ball anywhere, preserving fading energy for blocks and tackles around their own penalty box.

    Darvel 1-0 Aberdeen

    Callum Roberts takes over from Ryan Duncan.

    Can the sub help Aberdeen find an equaliser in the remaining 10 minutes or so?

    Darvel are looking pretty knackered now.

    It's another magnificent save. He makes himself big and I'm not sure there's much more Duk can do. That's three incredible saves from Truesdale.

  15. GREAT SAVE!published at 78 mins

    Darvel 1-0 Aberdeen

    A third excellent save from Chris Truesdale as he spreads himself to block at the feet of Duk just six yards out.

  16. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 75 mins

    Darvel 1-0 Aberdeen

    The whistle sounds for offside before Bojan Miovski knocks in a cross from Leighton Clarkson.

    Darvel have got away with one there... Clarkson is at least two yards on when he starts his run.

    The home players had stopped long before the ball went in.

    Darvel 1-0 Aberdeen

    Craig Moore and Thomas Reilly are on for Darvel... Allan McKenzie and Ross Caldwell are off to watch from the sidelines.

  18. GREAT SAVE!published at 72 mins

    Darvel 1-0 Aberdeen

    Darvel survive a stramash, with Chris Truesdale making a terrific stop to deny Duk from close range. The ball pops loose for a split second but no player in white can get there before it's hoofed away.

    Jordan Kirkpatrick will not be able to enjoy the rest of this game. You're so close to being over the line, he won't be enjoying this. He can be happy with his performance and his goal, though.
